Jam & Kaya brings the Klang Valley's best year yet for independent cafes to a triumphant close; visiting this winsome venue is a potent reminder to value the people who pour their hearts into creating these places. Dismissing these cafes without knowing their stories is blatant disrespect.
Brunches are a treat here; the Eggs Royale (RM21) feature irresistibly delicious poached eggs, resting atop thick slices of smoked salmon & crisp leaves in a croissant.
Available through 5pm, so late risers like us can mercifully still have breakfast for lunch.
The menu remains a work in progress, but it's excellent to see these baked eggs that borrow inspiration from the Tunisian-origin recipe of 'shakshouka' ...
... creamy with a thick, tomato-rich base that conceals soft chunks of eggplant. RM18.90. Dinner specials include chicken ballotine, beef stew with potatoes & salmon with couscous.
Pancakes are a pleasure here: try the one with salted caramel & macadamia nuts (RM16.50). Other varieties come with caramelized bananas & yes, even jam & kaya.
Save space for dessert; these babies are a star attraction in their own right.
Praline cheesecake, very rich, sumptuously smooth. Gotta try the tarts next time.
Coffee's constructed with Colombian beans; not a bad latte, definitely.
Love the hot chocolate here, mixed with tiny, crispy chocolate balls for extra enjoyment.
